TVS - Diodes, or TransiORIENTated Voltage Suppressors (TVS) diode, are a high-performance overVOLTage protection devices. The MXLP4KE180AE3 is a high-speed, low-capacitance, bidirectional TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits against voltage transiENTS and ESD (electrostatic discharge) of up to 8kV Contact and 15kV air. This diode can protect one differential line, making it ideal for the protection of signals such as USB3.0, HDMI, and DisplayPort.

Application Field

The MXLP4KE180AE3 is designed for high-speed data communication line applications that require ESD protection and fast response to transient voltage. It provides an excellent surge capability with its low capacitive loading, making it suitable for applications such as USB3.0, HDMI, DisplayPort, and other digital cross-point switching systems. The device also meets stringent automotive required including AEC-Q101.

Working Principle

The MXLP4KE180AE3 is a bidirectional protection device that works by limiting the voltage across its terminals. It uses the Zener principle, where, when the applied voltage is greater than a certain threshold, the extra voltage is diverted through a low impedance path. The threshold voltage is also referred to as the "clamping voltage". In addition, the MXLP4KE180AE3 has a low capacitance value (5pF) to minimize the effect on signal performance when it is used in high speed data communication line applications.

The device is designed to protect against both ESD and voltage transients. For transient protection, the device\'s high power clamping capability allows it to absorb energy and limit the voltage across its terminals, thus protecting the equipment. Similarly, the ESD protection provided by the MXLP4KE180AE3 will protect the equipment from damage when it is exposed to high-voltage ESD events.

The MXLP4KE180AE3 is available in an ultra-small package size (6.5mm x 6.5mm x 1.8mm), making it suitable for use in applications where space is limited. These devices are lead-free and RoHS compliant, making them suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

In conclusion, the MXLP4KE180AE3 is a high-performance TVS diode designed for low capacitive loading and fast response to transient voltage. It is suitable for use in applications such as USB3.0, HDMI, DisplayPort, and other digital cross-point switching systems. The device also meets stringent automotive requirements and is RoHS compliant.
